New to trading. Question regarding a stock

So I am new to trading, so forgive my ignorance.

I work at Starbucks and we get stock granted to us every year. I have 9 shares that will vest in a month and I am thinking of investing them in AMD.

AMD manufactures computer components (gpu and cpus) and has been doing poorly in recent years, especially on its CPU line. Their competitor, Intel, has dominated them as far as CPUs go. AMD sits anywhere from 1.60-2.00 and has been going down for years.

I'm thinking of taking my 9 shares in SBUX and using those to purchase AMD on the grounds that either their new line of GPUs coming out will raise the price, or, similar to Apple and Microsoft in the 90s, Intel will buy non voting shares of AMD to reinvigorate the competition.

Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks!
